Are you having trouble accessing content on TikTok because your account is restricted due to an incorrect age? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people accidentally set their age to under 13 when signing up, and then find they can’t change it in their settings. The good news is that there is a way to change your age on TikTok, without having to sign out of your account or risk losing it.
Firstly, it’s important to note that the only time TikTok lets you choose your birthday is when you sign up. However, there is a workaround that will allow you to change it. Here’s how:
1. Open TikTok and log in to your account.
2. Tap “Me” at the bottom right to go to your profile.
3. Tap the three dots at the top right of the page.
4. Scroll down until you see the “Support” tab, and tap “Report a Problem” just underneath it.
5. Select the “Account and Profile” topic under “Select a Topic”.
6. Tap on the “Editing Profile” tab.
7. Select “Other”, as there is no option to change your age.
8. Press “Still Have a Problem”.
9. Type into the feedback box, “I need to update my birthday on my account as the current date is incorrect. I can show my ID to prove my actual birthday.”
10. Tap “Report”.
After you have reported your problem, you may have to wait a couple of days for TikTok to respond to you through the email you set up with your account. They will help you sort it out, and you will be able to change your age.
It’s important to note that you should not add any pictures of your ID unless they specifically ask you to later on. Also, if you have any further questions, leave them in the comments, and the TikTok community will try to help you out. If this guide helped you, don’t forget to leave a like, and share this with others who might be having the same problem.
